From June 2016, Infinity Conference Group was chosen to be the new ISIAQ Secretariat. Doreen Albertson as Executive Director of Infinity Conference Group, coordinated the tasks of the Secretariat. A comprehensive Board Orientation Manual was drafted by Infinity and should be completed in 2017. 3 Meetings The BOD has held conference calls using the WebEx and StartMeeting platforms on a monthly basis, first call being held in January of 2016, usually with a full quorum. A physical BOD meeting was held during the Indoor Air Conference in Ghent, Belgium. The BOD has also had a large amount of communication via email. If needed, the Directors communicated on the individual level via phone, email, or SKYPE. 4 ISIAQ finances The ISIAQ treasurer, Tiina Reponen, has provided a report of ISIAQ finances in Appendix 1. She reports that ISIAQ continues to be financially stable. Revenues in 2016 were $192,506 with major income categories of publications (profit share from Indoor Air journal), membership fees and conference registration shares. The expenses were $179,978 with major expense categories of secretariat and other professional services and publications (Indoor Air journal). Page 3 of 39

5 Major activities of the Board from January to December 2016 5.1 Transition to new secretariat Since 2008, administrative, fiscal, and web support for ISIAQ has been provided under contract with the Building Ecology Research Group in Santa Cruz, California. Hal Levin, from BERG, announced his intention to retire in 2014. Therefore, the board formed an ad-hoc committee (Andrea Ferro, Richard Shaughnessy, Pawel Wargocki, Tiina Reponen, Christopher Chao, and Hal Levin) to review the needs of ISIAQ and specifically to recommend a mechanism for making this transition. The ISIAQ board was also seconded by a consultant to help with this transition: William Pawlucy of Association Options, LLC. The ad-hoc committee and the BOD worked with Association Options to develop a Request for Proposals and a tool for evaluating these proposals. Proposals were received from 11 companies and reviewed. Three were chosen for interviews to take place in January of 2016. Infinity Conference Group was eventually chosen as the new secretariat and an agreement was executed on April 11, 2016. Transition activities between the outgoing and incoming secretariat took place between April and May 2016. Infinity Conference Group assumed the role as the official secretariat effective June 6, 2016. 5.2 Indoor Air Journal The full report from the editor-in-chief, William Nazaroff, is provided in Appendix 3. Major items are summarized here. In 2016 (Volume 26), 77 articles were published reporting new research. Authors represent around 40 countries with the strongest contributions from North America, Europe and Asia plus Australia. Approximately 26% of articles submitted to the journal are accepted for publication. The median time between submission and the editor s decision is 51 days. The Thompson Reuter s impact factor for 2015 is 4.33, the third consecutive year that the impact factor has been above 4.0. Indoor Air currently ranks 2 nd among 61 journals in the area Construction and Building Technology; 8 th among 50 journals in the area Environmental Engineering; and 15 th among 172 journals in Public, Environmental & Occupational Health. 5.3 Scientific and Technical Committees (STCs) The ISIAQ Board of Directors (BOD) voted in 2010 to establish Scientific and Technical Committees (STCs) and an ISIAQ STC Council, a joint effort by ISIAQ and ISIAQ Academy of Fellows. STCs have three major functions: To review, conclude and report new and emerging research directions in indoor air sciences. STCs will prepare and publish short articles on emerging research directions on ISIAQ Website and Newsletters, and some such articles will be submitted to Indoor Air journal. Page 4 of 39

To establish Policy Committees to develop ISIAQ policy papers on interested and emerging indoor air topics. To review and select papers for ISIAQ Flagship conferences Indoor Air. ISIAQ STC Council is led by ISIAQ Vice President for Research. In calendar year 2016, the STC council met during the Indoor Air Conference in Belgium. In 2016, the BOD voted to support a request for funds from STC13 to prepare a position paper entitled The role of microbial sampling in building investigations for moisture damage and indoor mold. The funds are used to cover costs of a student to collect and review scientific literature and existing standards/recommendations internationally. The report will be finalized in 2017. Lastly, the ISIAQ BOD noticed that STCs have rather heterogeneous levels of activities and their plans for the future are not clear. In this context, the BOD decided to clarify the STC work plans and to identify the difficulties they may encounter. So the major activity relative to STCs in 2016 was the preparation and the launch of a survey sent to the 8 STC chairs to identify potential needs of the STCs for evolution, for BOD support or/and for increased activity level. The replies will be analyzed in 2017 and an action plan will be proposed by the BOD. The STC survey questionnaire is in the Appendix 4. 5.4 Conferences and co-sponsored conferences ISIAQ maintains a regular schedule of two flagship conferences: Indoor Air and Healthy Buildings. Indoor Air is an international conference that is intended to encompass all areas of indoor air sciences and practice. Recent conference locations include Copenhagen (2008), Austin Texas (2011) and Hong Kong (2014). Beginning in 1978, the conference took place once every three years and was overseen by the Academy of Fellows. With the merger of the Academy and ISIAQ in 2005, ISIAQ acquired responsibility for the selection of conference organizers. In 2012, the Board of Directors voted to accelerate this conference schedule to once every 2 years, with the first instance taking place in 2016 in Ghent, Belgium. The conference was organized by Jelle Laverge, Marianne Stranger and Tunga Salthammer. The board has received monthly updates on conference preparation and organization from Jelle Laverge. Michael Waring of Drexel University will lead the organization of Indoor Air 2018 to take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The board has received monthly updates on conference preparation and organization from Michael Waring. Healthy Buildings is a scientific conference intended to focus on the practice of maintaining and improving indoor air quality based on available science. Until recently, it was considered a global conference and took place once every 3 years, the Page 5 of 39

year following the Indoor Air conference. Recent conference locations include Syracuse, USA (2009) and Brisbane, Australia (2012). In 2012, the Board of Directors voted to change the conference to a regional (i.e. Europe, Asia, Americas) and accelerate this conference schedule to once every 2 years, with the first instance taking place in 2015. The intent was to, eventually, have three regional conferences take place in the years between the Indoor Air conferences. Healthy Buildings 2015 Europe took place on May 18-20 in Eindhoven, Netherlands at the Eindhoven University of Technology and was organized by Marcel Loomans, and Healthy Buildings 2015-America took place on July 19-22 in Boulder, CO. The technical organization of the meeting was led by Shelly Miller and John Zhai of the University of Colorado. Two organizers were identified for Healthy Buildings 2017 conferences: - Healthy Buildings 2017 Asia will take place in Tainan, Taiwan, led by conference president Huey-Jen Su of National Cheng Kung University - Healthy Buildings 2017 Europe will take place in Lublin, Poland and will be led by Marzenna Dudzinska of the Lublin University of Technology. Both presented monthly updates on conference preparation during the BOD meeting. Future of Conferences. A joint conference with the ISES (International Society for Exposure Sciences) to be held in 2019 has been discussed during the ISES 2016 Conference held in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The final decision was made early 2017 in both boards, ISIAQ and ISES. A MOU has been prepared and local organizers will be looked for. Co-Sponsored Conferences. As described in more detail in the report from the Vice- President of Policy (Appendix 5), the BOD has agreed to co-sponsor 9 th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality Ventilation and Energy Conservation in Buildings to be held in Seoul, Korea on October 23-26, 2016. Proceedings Availability: a discussion was initiated among the BOD to make available on the ISIAQ website the ISIAQ conference proceedings for download as a member benefit at no cost, while making it freely available to the public two years after each applicable event. A final decision will be made and practical issues will be discussed in 2017. Student Travel Awards: To enable students to attend the Healthy Buildings 2017 conferences (and future Indoor Air and Healthy Buildings conferences), ISIAQ BOD decided to offer students with accepted full papers/short abstracts the opportunity to apply for Student Awards, which will cover the registration fee and accommodation in a dormitory. A list of eligibility criteria was set by the BOD. Page 6 of 39

5.5 Academy of Indoor Air Sciences The full report from the President of the Academy of Indoor Air Sciences (ISIAQ Fellows) is provided in Appendix 6. 5.6 Student engagement Current students are the future leaders and innovators in the indoor air sciences. ISIAQ seeks to encourage and broaden student engagement through activities at conferences, the mentorship program and in other areas. Several activities took place at Indoor Air Conference 2016. During 2016, Elisa Van Kenhove, the ISIAQ student representative on the Board of Directors has been active in promoting and developing activities to benefit students. Dusan Licina, the previous student representative, and Jelle Laverge have organized an ISIAQ summer school at the Indoor Air 2016 conference in Ghent, Belgium and was extremely successful. More details of the numerous student engagement activities, particularly about the revitalization of the mentorship program and the social medias, i.e. Facebook and Twitter, as well as perspectives are presented in Appendix 7. 5.7 Communication and dissemination A monthly issue of the ISIAQ newsletter was released from June 2016 (excluding summer months). Updates on ISIAQ conferences are presented; publication of new reports or PhD thesis are announced; and some researchers are invited to present their work, databases, new project, etc. The Editorial Committee is composed of Marcel Loomans, Corinne Mandin, Glenn Morrison, Harald Meyer, and Doreen Albertson. Past issues can be read on the ISIAQ website. A website ad hoc committee has started to work on the website recast to make it more attractive. This activity is connected with the management of ISIAQ presence on social networks. 5.8 ISIAQ chapters There are five national chapters of ISIAQ; FISIAQ (Finland), ISIAQ.nl (Netherlands), SWESIAQ (Sweden), ISIAQ.is in Iceland and NIO in Norway. A survey was conducted in autumn 2016, addressed (e-mail) to contact persons for each chapter. The purpose of the survey has been to gather information on activities of the national chapters, but also their views on ISIAQ and interest in further cooperation with ISIAQ and with the other chapters. The result has been compiled in an internal report that will be completed in 2017. Page 7 of 39

6 Areas for future consideration Some of pending areas are listed here to acknowledge them and recommend them for future consideration. Diversity committee: a first discussion was made during Indoor Air 2016 Conference. Harald Meyer and Chungyoon Chun are the BOD members connected with ISIAQ members interested in further promoting diversity; Membership survey: this survey will be performed in 2017; E-learning: During the ISIAQ AGM at Indoor Air 2016 Conference, a proposal from Dr Ineke Thierauf, The Netherlands, for an international e-learning course on IAQ and Climate organized by ISIAQ members from different countries was presented and discussed. Several members supported the project. In the September 2016 ISIAQ Newsletter, a call was made to test the members willingness to give lectures or contribute with course material. Proposal for further steps will be discussed in 2017. Page 8 of 39

7 Appendices 7.1 Appendix 1: Treasurer s report June 10, 2017 Year 2016 The total revenues and gains were $192,506 with the main income coming from Wiley (33%), membership fees (30%), and conference registration fee shares (30%). The total expenses were $179,978 with the main expense categories of Secretariat and other professional services (60%) and publication fee to Wiley (32%). Effective June 2016, bookkeeping entries were input to reflect accounting transactions on an accrual basis. Due to this change from cash basis bookkeeping, there were two large items related to the Indoor Air journal that appear in the accounts twice in 2016: both the income and expenses from Wiley for years 2015 and 2016. The net income from Wiley (Indoor Air journal) was $7,567. The switch to accrual accounting did not affect other budget categories. ISIAQ made a surplus of $12,528. The net assets at the end of 2016 were $376,467, which includes Fidelity mutual fund of $200,607. After adjusting for accounts payable and accounts receivable, ISIAQ had $157,399 in cash and cash equivalents in the bank account at the end of the year 2016. After deducting the Academy funds of $28,944.78, ISIAQ had $128,455 in cash. For comparisons, the operating budget for the current year (2017) is $135,000. In summary, ISIAQ continues to be financially stable. Membership fees, conference registration shares, and profit share for Wiley continue to be the primary sources of income. Therefore, fostering these activities is essential for maintaining the financial stability in the future. Page 9 of 39

7.3 Appendix 3: Indoor Air Journal Editor s report Editor s Report to ISIAQ Members Prepared by William Nazaroff, Editor-in-Chief This report was prepared on 4 May 2017 and covers the period January 2016 April 2017. Published Research Indoor Air is published in six issues per year. In 2016 (Volume 26), we published 77 research articles, including two reviews. This volume also included a special issue (published in February 2016) featuring ten articles developed from keynote lectures presented at the Indoor Air 2014 conference. Nine of the published articles were funded by author fees and are permanently available as open access. We also published six editorials (two by Associate Editors and four by the editor-in-chief). The first three issues of Volume 27 have been published. These three issues contain 63 research articles (including three reviews) and three editorials. Author fees have funded the publication of nine of these articles. We anticipate publishing 40-45 additional articles in the remaining three issues of Volume 27. This year will be the first time that the journal will have published more than 100 regularly submitted articles in a year. Geographic Distribution of Authors The following summary considers all articles (original research plus review articles plus keynote lecture articles) that were published in 2016 (77) or thus far in 2017 (63) plus those that have been accepted and are awaiting publication (35). Editorials are excluded. For these 175 articles, ISIAQ s three main regions are well represented among the corresponding authors: the Americas (79 articles, 45%), Asia plus Australia (34 articles, 19%), and Europe (62 articles, 35%). Many articles have authors from multiple countries (59, 34%), indeed even multiple continents (35, 20%). Considering all authors of these 175 articles, 40 separate countries are represented, with 83 articles having one or more authors from USA, 26 from China (including 7 from Hong Kong), 17 from Denmark, 14 from Canada, 12 each from Finland and France, 11 each from Germany and the Netherlands, 9 from Sweden, 8 from Spain, 7 each from Australia and the UK, 5 each from Italy and Singapore, 3 each from Belgium, Korea, Norway, Poland, Portugal, and Switzerland, and the remaining 20 countries being represented by having authors who contributed to 1 or 2 articles. Published research in the indoor air sciences remains strongest in North America, Western Europe, and East Asia. Page 21 of 39

ISI Ranking The Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports database reports journal Impact Factors, an indicator of journal quality. Indoor Air s impact factor for 2015 is 4.33, the third consecutive year that the impact factor has been above 4.0. Indoor Air currently ranks 2nd among 61 journals in the area Construction and Building Technology; 8th among 50 journals in the area Environmental Engineering; and 15 th among 172 journals in Public, Environmental & Occupational Health. Manuscript Processing Statistics Considering research articles only (original research plus review articles), for period January 2016 April 2017, there were 382 new submissions (average = 24 per month). Among the 289 newly submitted articles from year 2016, we have accepted for publication 67, with nine manuscripts still being considered. The acceptance rate for year 2016 will be in the range 23-26%. Regarding editorial processing of manuscripts, the editors strive to make timely, well-informed, fair, and transparent decisions. For articles selected for peer review, the editors goal is to complete the evaluation process for the large majority of cases within 2 months of the submission date. Reviews should seldom take longer than 3 months, from author submission to editor s (first) decision. We are doing well against these goals. In 2016, 121 newly submitted articles underwent peer review. For the first peer review, the median time from submission to return of the editor s decision was 51 days. Eighty-six (71%) of the first reviews were completed with two months. Only six reviews (5%) took longer than three months. Each submitted article is first evaluated by an editor. Only articles that are topically appropriate and deemed to be of sufficient strength are selected for peer review. For the 16-month period January 2016 through April 2017, 382 new research articles were submitted and 165 of these (43%) were selected for peer review. Among those undergoing peer review, 69 have been accepted for publication, 29 are currently under review, 15 are awaiting revision and resubmission by the authors, 1 lapsed (the authors did not resubmit in a timely manner following peer review), and 51 were rejected based on peer review assessments. Here are some additional editorial processing data (from ScholarOne as reported on 4 May 2017, for the prior 12 months): - Average time from submission to first decision 23 days - Average reviewer turnaround time (original) 20 days - Average reviewer turnaround time (revision) 13 days - Average time to assign reviewers (original) 7 days - Average time to assign reviewers (revision) 6 days - Average time from submission to final decision 37 days - Acceptance ratio 77:267 (29%) Page 22 of 39

Post-acceptance processing: Accepted articles move quickly to appear on-line in advance of publication. At the time of first appearance, each article receives a unique DOI number, which allows it to be cited in a permanently traceable manner. As of 4 May 2017, there are 35 articles that have been accepted and are awaiting publication. It is an important recent development that the delay between article acceptance and article publication has been reduced to less than six months. Editors and Editorial Board We benefit from the service of 30 distinguished scholars who serve on the editorial board; there have been no recent changes in membership. Regarding the Associate Editors, we thank Richard de Dear for his three years of service as (2014-2016). The journal now operates with eleven Associate Editors: Bert Brunekreef, Netherlands Geo Clausen, Denmark Richard Corsi, USA William Fisk, USA Yuguo Li, Hong Kong, China Glenn Morrison, USA Jordan Peccia, USA Tiina Reponen, USA Tunga Salthammer, Germany Huey-Jen (Jenny) Su, Taiwan Junfeng (Jim) Zhang, USA William Nazaroff continues as Editor-in-Chief, a position he has held since 2010.

STC32 Environmental/climate impacts (18 members) Chairperson: Dr Kazukiyo Kumagai, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA 8. STC33 Thermal comfort (25 members) ChairpersonProfessor Yingxin Zhu, Tsinghua University, China Currently STCs have rather heterogeneous levels of activities and their plans for the future are not clear. In this context, the BOD decided to clarify the STC work plan for both a short and long term horizon and to identify the difficulties they may encounter. So the major activity relative to STCs in 2016 was the preparation and the launch of a survey sent to the 8 STC chairs to identify potential needs of the STCs for evolution, for BOD support or/and for increased activity level. The replies will be analyzed in 2017 and an action plan will be proposed by the BOD. The questionnaire sent to the STC chairs is the following: Your STC status and its work plan for both a short and long term horizon 1. What are the current activities within your STC? 2. What are your projects in the coming year? 3. Are there any specific long-term goals and activities envisioned? Page 24 of 39

4. How active is your STC in upcoming participation in ISIAQ Conferences and planning? Has the STC submitted workshop proposals for these or other conferences? STC activities: difficulties and ways to move forward 5. How many members are part of your STC, and of them, how many are really active? 6. Some of the STCs have been less active in the past few years. Do you think this is due to: (several answers are possible; reply with yes or no and, if yes, give any suggestion to improve the situation; add other reasons as appropriate) As the STC leader, you are lacking the time to manage the work: There is not clear direction from the Board as to what the expectations are for the STC: The topic is too vague and not well formulated: The topic is not relevant and should be reoriented: The members are not interested, not active: The group is too large and nothing can be organized due to this large size: The group is too small and nothing can be planned due to this critical size: Due to different time-zones worldwide, it is difficult to communicate effectively with the members: You may need funds allocated for a targeted deliverable output. If yes, what amount would you need and for what? What deliverables would you envision pertaining to your STC? (e.g., position document, white paper, journal publication, course development on your subject matter of the STC, etc.)? The deadlines linked to the STC are not enforceable: You need more supplemental assistance and direction from the ISIAQ Board Of Directors (BOD): You would like more communication from ISIAQ, e.g., more visibility on the webpage, the newsletter, etc.: Other: 7. Do you think the STCs should evolve and, if yes, how? What would be the key(s) to success? What is your vision of goals and outcomes? 8. Do you have any other suggestions for the ISIAQ BOD? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION TO THIS SURVEY Page 25 of 39

7.6 Appendix 6: President of the Academy of Indoor Air Sciences (ISIAQ Fellows) report Report of the Executive Committee of the ISIAQ Academy of Fellows Academy of Fellows Report to ISIAQ Members (1 Jan 31 Dec 2016) This report covers the Academy AGM that was held in association with Indoor Air 2016, academy activities in 2016, planned activities in association with Indoor Air 2018 and economy. Academy AGM 2016 The 2016 AGM of the Academy took place in Gent, Belgium, Hotel De Flandres (Meeting Room), 2:00 pm 3:20 pm. 45 Academy members including President (Salthammer), Vice-President (Li) and Secretary (Corsi) attended the meeting. The Executive Committee report from May 2016 was approved by the AGM. The Executive Committee reported that the 2016 Selection Juries for the Yaglou Award: Pawel Wargocki (Denmark, Chair); Gunilla Wieslander (Sweden); Huey-Jen Su (Taiwan); Qingyan Yan Chen (USA, China) and Shinichi Tanabe (Japan) for New Fellows: Kwok Wai Tham (Singapore, Chair); Richard Corsi (USA); Donald Milton (USA); Aino Nevalainen (Finland) and Yinping Zhang (China) The Executive Committee chose the winners for Pettenkofer Award and Lifetime Achievement Award. The Lifetime Achievement Award is bestowed on occasion to scholars who have made seminal contributions to the indoor air sciences through their career's work. There was only one past recipient, who was Ib Andersen (Indoor Air 2008), prior to Indoor Air 2016. The Executive Committee made a unanimous decision that Dr Nevalainen Aino became the second individual to have this honor in our history. The AGM also elected the new Executive Committee with Yuguo Li as President, Richard Corsi as Vice President and Pawel Wargocki as Secretary for the new term 2016-2018. Page 27 of 39

Topics of the open discussion (in keywords) included The Academy should be more active in mentoring new researchers in the field (post note: The Academy has worked with ISIAQ BOD to develop a new mentorship programme in ISIAQ, and the document has been discussed by BOD). The Academy should be more active in promoting the science of indoor air to a wider community, and attract young talents into this community. The Academy should be more proactive in addressing the gender balance in all aspects related to the Academy. Academy Activities 2016 The Academy s main functions coincide with the Indoor Air xx conferences. The past year after Indoor Air 2016 was relatively quiet for the Academy per se, in anticipation of Indoor Air 2018. However, individual members of the Academy and the Academy s Executive Committee have remained vigorously engaged in advancing the indoor air sciences. These include service to the ISIAQ BoD, as associate editors of Indoor Air, the scientific committee for Healthy Buildings 2016 Asia and Europe and preparation for Indoor Air 2018 etc. Academy Activities prior to Indoor Air 2018 The following activities are now being planned for the Indoor Air 2018 conference. New Academy Fellows: A call for nominations for a new round of elections will be issued soon. The Academy is open by invitation to persons who by invention, research or other activities have contributed significantly to the indoor air sciences. Nominations for new membership can only be made by current members and require two recommendations by Academy members from different countries. A membership committee reviews the nominations and recommends new fellows. To be elected, each recommended candidate must be approved by the Executive Committee and by a majority of Academy Members.

7.7 Appendix 7: Student Representative s report I Past activities I a The 1 st ISIAQ Summer School, July 2-3, Ghent, Belgium The first ISIAQ Summer School took place just before Indoor Air 2016 in Ghent, Belgium. The purpose of the activity was to educate and network. It was set up as a pilot course and it was a success with 34 student participants (+3 organizers and 7 speakers). It aims to establish a regular ISIAQ Summer School to be organized around every Indoor Air conference. The main objectives of the ISIAQ summer school in Ghent were the following: 1. Networking: Bring ISIAQ student members together, establish long-term connections, learn about people from other countries and cultures. 2. Learning: Engage some of the world s best researchers that shared the newest findings and challenges in the most important ISIAQ related topics. Participants were actively engaged in discussion through interactive sessions. In addition, participants were given opportunity to learn how to communicate clearly in writing and orally through two general tutorials. 3. Field visits: An organized visit to one of sustainable buildings in the area which was facilitated by the building project coordinator and three speakers. Topic: Planning and performing building and IAQ audit. The program time table was as follows: Date Time Activity Facilitators 08:00 - Introductory session - 09:00 Participants getting to know each other and their work 09:00 - Tutorial: How to write a William Nazaroff, Andrea July 2, Saturday 10:30 11:00-12:30 12:30-13:30 13:30-15:00 15:00-18:00 scientific paper Lecture: IAQ and Exposure Lunch break Lecture: Ventilation Guided field visit: Building and IAQ audit (planning, deploying instruments, executing measurements, discussion) Ferro William Nazaroff, Andrea Ferro Andrew Persily, Ken Parsons, (Pawel Wargocki) Building engineer, Andrew Persily, Brent Stephens, Pawel Wargocki Page 30 of 39

Date Time Activity Facilitators 18:00-21:00 Sightseeing followed by dinner 09:00-10:30 Tutorial: How to give an effective presentation Brent Stephens, Andrew Persily 11:00-12:30 Lecture: Thermal comfort and Human perception Ken Parsons, Martin Täubel 12:30 - Lunch break July 3, Sunday 13:30 13:30-15:00 Lecture: Microbiology of the Built Environment Martin Täubel, Brent Stephens 15:00 - Sightseeing around Ghent 18:00 18:00 Indoor Air 2016 conference opening ceremony Financial model: The registration fee was 130 EUR (workshops + food) and student accommodation was optional for 60 EUR. The total revenue was 7,515 EUR and the total expenses were 6,502 EUR. I b Website and social media Student engagement beyond conferences is very important as well. It would be great to get students active on the ISIAQ website or social media. In response to the first ISIAQ Summer School in Ghent we made a Facebook page where students can exchange ideas. We have expended this idea and made a general ISIAQ Facebook page and updated the Twitter page, where not only students who attended the ISIAQ Summer School, but all ISIAQ students and members can access and communicate. I c ISIAQ Student Awards ISIAQ is deeply committed to involving students in conferences. To enable students to attend the Healthy Buildings 2017 conference, we are offering students with accepted short abstracts the opportunity to apply for Student Awards, which will cover the registration fee and accommodation in a dormitory. Page 31 of 39

II Ongoing activities II a Mentorship program ISIAQ is excited to announce the reinitializing of the mentorship program. Mentorship Program Guidelines are made. The mentorship program will allow students and early-career ISIAQ members to align with senior ISIAQ members, forming a mentormentee relationship that can strengthen the society, advance the profession, and build lifelong collaborations and friendships. The program will provide mentees with mentorship and guidance from ISIAQ researchers outside of their home institutions, providing them with early career advice, research and publication advice, discussions about current and emerging topics in the indoor environmental science field, and an opportunity for the mentee to network with senior members. ISIAQ mentors and students can enroll through registration on the website. ISIAQ will pair up mentor-mentee couples after registration through the website based on the answers in the questionnaire. Meeting opportunities will be organized during Healthy Building and Indoor Air Conferences. Besides the face-to-face contact, the mentors and their mentees will interact through e-mail and Skype correspondence. ISIAQ will work to align mentors and mentees and will pose suggestions for monthly discussion topics by e-mail to help initiating conversations among program participants. We are currently seeking ISIAQ members who would like to volunteer as mentors for the program. II b Student activities program - Healthy Buildings 2017, July 2-5, Lublin, Poland The overall goal of the student activities program is to enhance the communication among students. A student event will be organized during the Healthy Buildings 2017 conference. II c The 2 nd ISIAQ Summer School, Indoor Air 2018 The second ISIAQ Summer School will take place before Indoor Air 2018. Organization has started. Page 32 of 39

III Future directions III a Summer school continuation The ultimate goal is to establish a regular ISIAQ summer schools that will be organized together with every Indoor Air conference. An important thing to consider is adding ECTS points. III b Student section on ISIAQ website Student engagement beyond conferences is very important as well. It would be great to get students active on the ISIAQ website. The website can benefit from a student section which can consist of four categories: 1. Student work: Important work of students (or related to what students are doing) can be featured on the ISIAQ website. 2. Student activities: ISIAQ can assist with establishing the necessary website where people can announce student activities (e.g. lectures, field visits, regional conferences, competitions, awards, etc.) by continent (Europe, USA and Asia). 3. ISIAQ Job Search: Employers can send their job listing and ISIAQ can showcase it on the website. In this way students get a quick overview. 4. Student exchange program: Student exchange opportunities can be listed on the student section of the website. III c Young contributor conference award In future we could honor a student for outstanding student paper and outstanding student performance. This award can be giving at the conference (for example young contributor award ). III d Student workshops at conferences We should continue to propose to the conference organizers to organize one or two student workshops during conference. Workshops can including short lectures followed by a discussion on a given topic. The overall goal of the student workshop program is to enhance the communication among students, especially those from similar research field, and to provide students with state-of-the-air knowledge. Page 33 of 39

III e Conference app In future we can explore the possibility to introduce a conference app to encounter interesting people. Everyone can have a profile on the app, by looking at the profiles you can decide which students are doing similar research and ask them to meet during the conference at the meeting point (we provide a meeting point and they can meet for example during the coffee break). III f Mid-year online workshops or symposia Online lectures on specific topics can be organized, this would be on the interest of a lot of students. General tutorials can be interesting too, for example learning how to communicate clearly in writing and orally. Page 34 of 39
